THE CHALLENGES
Over the past 30 years, the A.P.K. Group have been successfully growing their business in the area of manufacturing & distribution of rubber wood products and
furniture. To undertake this business, they have invested in several sawmills and dehydration mills, with over 80 kilns currently in operation. Having approached
a business size where sufficient levels of waste wood is now available, a plan was hatched to economically generate electricity from wood chips. Because of the
significant steam needs of the kilns, a cogeneration plant was envisioned to best utilize their fuel source, where power plant efficiency could be more than doubled
using a condensing turbine with controlled process steam extraction.BIB’s custom-designed steam island has played a key role in this highly efficient
and environmentally friendly cogeneration power plant, where the wood waste has now been effectively transformed into two forms of usable energy. Excess
generated electricity that cannot be used by the facility is sold to the Songkhla Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), in the Southern part of Thailand.
